How to have a reading party before you go to bed

Put on your jammies and congregate somewhere cozy.



Snuggle up with whomever is onhand. Cousins are especially nice for reading parties.



Choose a book. It's okay if you've memorized it. The good ones are worth memorizing.



Wait patiently until it's your book's turn to be read.



Books are good for more than just reading. Build a fort with Calvin's Commentaries while you listen.



Show the babies how not too rip library books.



When you get sleepy, finish the chapter and put everyone to bed.

Awesome.

I love reading parties!

James, is that you in the green striped shirt? I can hardly tell!

So cute, Rebecca! I love it that Mercy is all tidily snuggled in her blanket and pillow, while the boys are haphazardly sitting on blankets! :)
